Zucchini’s Grill & Vinotek was established in 1997 by Mr. Werner Berger ( of Santi’s Deli fame ) at the ground floor of the Trans-Orient Maritime Agency Building on #66 Timog Avenue, Quezon City. It had a simple facade with warm, relaxing interiors hidden behind an air of cool glass interiors. The menu at the time reflected a preference for simple Italian culinary classics.
